i got it professionally installed at a body shop the same time i got the roof painted and the intake powdercoated. I HIGHLY suggest you dont do this install in your driveway sorta deal. You have to cut out the OEM front grille with a dremmel and if you mess up you need a new front bumper since its all one piece.

Nice GSXR. I just sold mine, I went back with a V-twin

After seeing all 8 pages I can say the NBP TL looked amazing, sorry that happened but you're safe and that's what counts. As you demonstrated, a car can be replaced, sometimes with the same car! But both your NBP and WDP look amazing, and I especially love the Volk rims. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread

ACCURATEin

One of my girlfriend's relatives thought she saw me driving in durham, but i told her it was actually this other guy that has a similar car haha.

Tamir how you been, haven't seen you in a while.

VIS CF Hood ordered!! I felt bad since Ive been neglecting the TLS due to being a full time student and bartending full time so I bought her a new hood! It's on back order gonna be 3-5 weeks but I'll post pics after install

Sorry I been MIA everyone I graduate July 26th so I'll be alot more active after that. I miss my AZ bros and the meets. I should be in charlotte for import alliance so I'll give u a call when I get down there Eric I'll be staying at shefs house. Tyler get my new # from Italiano and hit me up sometime. I'll set this thread up to email when someone posts so I can keep up with it. The TLS will be getting a major makeover soon with the CF hood, full exhaust, and prolly new 19s soon.

Italiano

Dude MIA is an understatement...pm me your number..I got a new phone..better see u at Import alliance...lol

ACCURATEin

Yeeeaaaah buddy I miss you dawg!

Can't wait til IA. We got to get all the TLs together.

Can't wait to see your 3 new mods.

akrapovic

iTrader: (2)

ok ill go ahead and send it now.
Man if shef's car is done my ass is riding with him and leaving the TLS at his house for IA lol. O i meant to tell you i ran into matt hollister's dad here in durham awhile back. I was at walgreens and he pulled in thinking my car was yours. i was naa i gots no booooosssstttt in herrrreeee lol. but neways i hope u guys are holding it down there in the 704. If all goes well ill see everyone for the IA meet. i havnt been down to charlotte since spring break to see my new niece.


btw all my 919 people if theres anything going on let me know im about to PM my # to beat, tyler, and italiano. You fux are my only link to the import world!! call or txt me!!!

edit:: cant PM beat so just send me your # in PM

Beat-Freak...

He lives lol

Congrats school is the ticket though.

You modded the TL so fast, and some of us didnt get to see it in person yet like myself.

akrapovic

iTrader: (2)

yea i sorta did but if you havnt noticed i go through phases....ill heavily mod for a little then wont touch it for 6 months then start modding again then stop lol. being out of touch with the import scene doesnt really motivate me to do nething to it since i think it looks decent the way it is. Then when stuff like IA rolls around i like i need mods!!!! so much to do so little time lol

ACCURATEin

Yo import alliance is gonna be massive man. I can't WAIT!

akrapovic

iTrader: (2)

and it cant be at a better time my last class is july 26th the thursday before IA. Its like a graduation present to have it the same weekend i finish school ftw! prolly gonna come down saturday morning early and head back to durham on sunday or something.

LOL shit i wish. It must be the taillights........so i got an idea. Ill take my TLS taillights out and put regular TL lights in there. you keep the TLS taillights in and give me the SC and FMIC that way its a fair trade and no one gets our cars mixed up.

i hope my CF hood comes in before IA or imma fly to cali and punch the VIS dude in the nutts.

Nice to see your back I was going to unsubscribe since I thought you might have sold your car already LOL

akrapovic

iTrader: (2)

LOL na man im back and active the mod bug has latched on again so ill be posting pics of my summer progress.

RV6 Ceramic PCD and Jpipe ordered to complement my CF hood!!! im am so poor weeeeeeeeeeee!

PCD and jpipe should be here before the CF hood so ill post pics of install and try to get a video of before and after.

akrapovic

iTrader: (2)

alright so the PCD and jpipe are installed. Didnt take many pics cuz i messed my hand up pretty bad installing the stuff. So that rasp has got to go. Im thinking of getting xlr8 resonated Catback exhaust. Is anyone else running that setup?

Edit:: i think ima just take the cheap way out and order magnaflow resonator. I the mid muffler deleted and a AERO resonator installed right now but i think the magnaflow will fix the rasp for me

Italiano

Post the pics...so u got the pcds..not the the ones with high flow cats right?

JD TL-S

iTrader: (1)

Great Pics
Nice WDP TL

ACCURATEin

Oh shit you have a hood on the way? Hell yeah. That's gonna look good. Someone posted in the charlotte thread that one of his boys is trying to sell his VIS hood for $400. The sides are painted blue so you would have to have them painted white. (if you decided to cancel your order and contact this guy in charlotte)

akrapovic

iTrader: (2)

yea the PCDs not the high flow cats.

heres some pics i tried to take with my messed up hand







thanks

ok cool thanks for the heads up. I got a pretty good deal on mine cuz the company price matched another website that was out of stock.

now im debating whether to go ahead and get the xlr8 resonated catback like i had on the black TLS or something else. Im trying to find someone running rv6 pcd, jpipe, and xlr8 catback to see if they have any rasp. cant figure out if i should order the non resonated and add a magnaflow res or order the one that already has a resonator and see how it sounds. i cant stand the rasp i have on my TL now since i have no cats, no mid muffler, and just a resonator and my oem mufflers.

Install on a LIFT FTMFW...the 4 times I've removed it and reinstalled it...on my back under the car.

AND, I am jealous that your PCD's have the bolts that are already fixed to the bottom...my high flow cats have holes and you have to hold the bolts in place to make it work.

I have the EXACT same setup and am faced with the same decision! I want to get rid of the rasp in a bad way...

I'm contemplating the ATLP V2 and resonating it with the super long magnaflow.

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

akrapovic, i have v3 pcds, v3 jpipe, and xlr8 quad exhaust w/ a magnaflow#10426 resonator. the exhaust was originally non-resonated. with this combo, i have little to no rasp. HTH.

akrapovic

iTrader: (2)

i just put the deposit on the rv6 true dual exhaust fml. hope they get here before import alliance or im not driving my raspy POS lol.

thanks i just put down the money for the true dual exhaust but im thinking i might cancel it due to i want to fix this shit asap and when i order stuff from xlr8 usually gets to my house in 3-4 days. ill wait to hear the ETA from richie on the true dual and figure it out from there

edit:: after listening to this video again . im sold on the full rv6 setup. sounds so sick ill just have to be patient and not drive my car til the exhaust systems get sent out.

sourial84

iTrader: (1)

Congrats on finishing school IMO I have always been a fan of XLR8 they have the sound that I always wanted

@ ACCURATEin lol is this you

akrapovic

iTrader: (2)

Lol

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I'd be more "sold" if I heard it under load rather than just revved in place...plus, my neck tingling rasp is only at 3500 to 4500 rpm's...and only heard under load.

Plus, honestly, I'd like a deeper sound than the one in the video...richie makes great products, but I feel like his aim is more toward making the most power without too much concern for how it sounds.

akrapovic

iTrader: (2)

heres the thread it shows step by step how the exhaust note changed.
